Subject:	Keyboard interrupt handler brokenness
Reply-To:	tjw AT omnigroup DOT com

  I'm just starting my DOS hacking (having lived most of my life in  
Unix) and I've just written my first DJGPP interrupt handler.  This  
does some simple keyboard operations -- detecting key down and up  
and is pieced together from various pieces of examples that I've  
found laying around.

  Amazingly, it works.  Well, mostly.  Two problems.  As written  
below, eventually the keyboard will start beeping.  Presumably it's  
input buffer it filled.  In fact, when I hit escape, a bunch of  
stuff is printed out; the contents of the full buffer, I assume.

  If I uncommend the real mode handler calls in main(), the beeping  
doesn't happen, but if you type fast enough, the program will issue  
the message 'Unsupported INT 0xd' followed a keypress or two later  
by a segmentation fault.

  Anyway, the code follows.  If you have any suggestions about what  
might be going wrong, that would be much appreciated.  I've tweaked  
it every which way I can find, and I'm reading through a stacks of  
documentation I have and trying other tweaks, but this is probably  
something obvious to someone who's programmed DOS for more than a  
couple hours :)

/* I'm compiling on a sparc.20 running NEXTSTEP with the following:

/usr/local/lib/djgpp/bin/gcc -Wall -B/usr/local/lib/djgpp/bin/

  My compiler flags will probably differ from anyone compiling
  under DOS so the above is only a suggestion of what might work
  for you.
